It is what it is for that money & mileage. Externally the paintwork is ok, been knocked about a bit. Interior is tatty, drivers seat is well worn and some trim is held on with tank tape......
Drivers side door check strap is broken & the rear wash wipe doesn't work.

The engine is as strong as an ox, doesn't use any oil/water. The gearbox is smooth. No nasty clonks or rattles when driving.

Round town we used to get late 40's, on a run i used to see 60 + mpg.

We owned it for just over a year and loved it, only reason we sold was cause the wife wanted a Puma again or we would have kept it for a long time.

I think we did about 6000 miles in it, ranging from commute to work which was 8 miles each way and trips away totalling 500 miles in a weekend....

Well it bugs me when dealers write complete nonsense in car adverts.

Even with the dealer not knowing his backside from his elbow, it'd be a good 600 quids worth, I'm sure

Lol, no. Outdated but good.... They'll do 500,000 without much needed. They have a good following and are sought after. Just my opinion, of course.
